Every wedding day that I wake up to an overcast sky, I just smile and know it is going to be an awesome portrait day. Bright blue skies and lush green grass are very pretty for some shots, but I love portraits on a cloudy day. Sarah and Max had an afternoon ceremony inside a gorgeous chapel on the Fort Lewis army base, and when we were heading over to McChord air force base for the reception, Jody and I spotted these tanks. I mean, how often do we get to do some bridal shots with a TANK? We did a quick about-face and found the couple before they'd driven off too far. I SOOOO had this photo in my mind, all edited and cool, before Sarah was even in position, and it turned out exactly as I'd envisioned.
Just as we were finishing up, it started to rain...then it poured, and we didn't care since the portraits were all finished.
Their reception was intimate and included a couple of fun newlywed-style games as well as a traditional Korean ceremony.
Now I am going to snuggle on the sofa with Jody and watch a movie. We have another fantastic wedding to shoot tomorrow. I am pretty sure there won't be any tanks, but that's ok. Creativity on-the-fly is what we're all about.--Jen (& Jody)
